About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center requires Very Long Baseline Interferometry support services including coordination of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry Coordinating Center, coordination of VLBI observing sessions as the CORE Operation Center, VLBI data processing and analysis, VLBI research and development, and VLBI software development support. Interested parties may submit capabilities by December 17, 2021 solely for the purpose of determining whether acquisition on a sole source basis from incumbent NVI, Inc. is appropriate under the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) and FAR 6.302-1.
